AUTHOR’S POV

Anastasia knew one thing; she needed to be active and present in the office. If she needed to be a step ahead, she had to be around Maya to have every necessary information that she could get.

Her face twitched in subtle anger the second she walked into her office and noticed Maya on her desk, eyes bright as she read through files.

“I didn't know you would be coming in today?” Maya said, making no move to stand up from the chair. It had been her idea to have them take over the company, she deserves a seat at the high table, not some cubicle that they had for her, calling it an office.

“Well, I am here now,” she replied, trying to keep her tone from sounding too snappy.

“Okay, look at this, I was looking at the money that was transferred a week ago…”

    ROLAND’S POVToday looked like a great day, Noah had called for a meeting probably to address the board's choice in making me take over the project.This day I thought would never come, and now it is here. I could only imagine the look on his face when he realised that there was nothing he could do to change it.“Don’t you think that you should invite Petal?” Eleanor asked, staring at her son with a proud smile on her face. This was a welcome development, the matriarch would have no other choice but to let Roland get back in control of things.“As much as I would love that, we just have to keep things calm until everything is sorted out. Noah might just try to do something,” I said, he had been quiet for so long, but why was he suddenly asking for a meeting after all this time?Something felt off.“Let me know how it goes okay,” she said, walking out of the room.They would be the first to know, Noah is going to be crushed the minute I am done with him. And the little company that he

    SASHA’S POVAll through the night, Noah had his arms around me as if he was making sure that I wouldn’t disappear. And the smile on his face? He stared at me like he was a proud parent watching his child blossom.I have never felt seen, not in my entire life.“I had fun tonight,” I mumbled, stifling a yawn.He smiled, placing his hand at the back of my neck, slowly massaging the tension that had formed. “I am glad you did. Do you want a nightcap before bed?”A tiny frown formed on my lips, we were walking into the house and he looked like he wasn’t tired of my presence yet.“Sure, we can…”“Actually, I was thinking we could see a movie,” he said cutting me off.I was excited at the thought, it wasn’t every time that I got an offer like this, “Okay, you get changed and I will prepare the popcorn,”“Prepare? We have maids for that,” he said, staring at me like I had grown a second head.I chuckled, sometimes he said the funniest things that I could ever imagine, “Well, we got home late,

    AUTHOR’S POVAfter what felt like hours, and a thousand clothes later, they had finally agreed on a black attire. “Thank you so much, I have no idea what I would have done,”Anastasia smiled, “I am glad that I could help. Keep me updated on the case,”She closed the door behind her, head spinning as she tried to think of a solution. Roman was picking her calls and all her messages were left unread. It was beginning to look like he was enjoying the way she panicked.When she walked into the room, she met with Roland, eyes fixed on his phone as he muttered some words under his breath. “What is wrong?”His face twisted into a scowl, “Just a video of Noah and Sasha at some dinner and it looks like Noah now has an account on social media. The internet has been going crazy with all the pictures of Sasha that he posted,”It seemed the day was far from over, there was no minute of peace around them. “Aren’t those the men you tried talking into investing…?”“The very ones. I am certain that No

    AUTHOR’S POVThe air in the Conrad mansion was thick with tension. The unknown battle line had been drawn and each man was fighting to keep their selves safe.Maya had returned, happier than the usual they had seen her. And her mother? She was eager, hoping to hear the news that would lock Anastasia away for eternity.“Tell me what you have found?” she asked in an eager tone. She had proposed dinner, hoping to expose Anastasia in the eyes of everyone.Maya frowned, this was what she had been talking about, and no one cared about her. She had returned with a smile, looking like someone who had just had a chance with fate and that didn’t attract her mother.

    NOAH’S POVIt felt as if my breath had been sucked out of my lungs the minute she walked down the stairs. I couldn’t take my eyes off the woman as she moved like she was gliding through water.The gown wrapped around her body like a second skin, hiding the secrets that could unreal a man. The slit had gone so high, but was modest enough to keep you wanting to see more.“How do I look?” she asked, her eyes staring at me waiting to hear what I had to say.I couldn’t utter a word, not when her presence had taken my mind back to its primitive state.
